Tomb of Mariam-uz-Zamani, Mughal mausoleum in Sikandra, India

The red sandstone structure stands elevated on a platform with northern and southern entrances, featuring geometric patterns carved in bas-relief on its facades.

Built between 1623 and 1627, this tomb marks the final resting place of Mariam-uz-Zamani, Emperor Akbar's wife and mother of Emperor Jahangir.

The tomb incorporates both Hindu and Islamic architectural elements through its design, reflecting the cross-cultural dynamics of Mughal royal families.

Visitors can explore forty chambers on the ground floor and view three different tombstones spread across multiple levels of the structure.

The mausoleum contains traces of historical paintings on its plastered walls and features white-domed octagonal towers at each corner.
